L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is a combination of L-Carnitine, a naturally occurring amino acid, and L-Tartrate, an organic salt derived from tartaric acid. L-Carnitine plays a critical role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where they can be metabolized for energy production, while L-Tartrate helps to regulate the acidity of the muscles during exercise.
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is commonly used as a dietary supplement for its potential benefits in improving athletic performance, reducing muscle damage and soreness, and promoting recovery.
